I see you went back to the chrome center cap. The lip is a great addition X!

 

Yeah it doesn't look good on stock height. Has to be on a lowered but preferred slammed, car to look good. Like the famous picture of the white one JP uses. That car is slammed! Ohh by the way the lip is the same height from ground than the Stillen splitter so I'm clearing my garage no worries. Might go lower LOL!

Sup brother! Long time man! Yeah I went back to chrome and I painted the center caps lips black. I did that by re-ordering center caps and before adhering the center cap piece to the cap I painted them. Subtle touch but makes a difference. Thanks man!

 

Looks good. Thanks for sharing

 

Yeah it has been a while. I think I may try that on mine as well. I actually got bored and decided to try something new with my wheels. Had a can of Plasti-dip laying around from doing my A4 grill and went to town on the X17s It actually came out decent. I ll post up some pics later in our official thread.

 

^^ Yeah man Id like to see it. You know you can remove those rivets and XIX will sell you new ones that pop back in, actually most wheel companies will as replacements. Our wheels are powder coated so if you tape up the lips you can use steel wool 600 grit and sand down the clearcoat and repaint. Thinking about doing my centers black for awhile lol.


OH by the way I edited my post above.

The JP lip guys sits the same height as the Stillen splitter lip. I measured it and its the same 4.8 inch from ground I had pretty much. Also the JP is flush on bottom and it fits to the bottom like Stillen Splitter does as far as flush goes, although it dosnt wrap the bottom for me as seen in pictures.. So if you've had the Stillen splitter and worried this is lower. It's not.

** Note - Stillen is about an inch lower than stock front.

 

Good to know the wheels are PC and rivets can be replaced. If all goes well, this will be the last year I run these wheels so I m hoping the plasti-dip coat last that long. If you are sure about painting your wheels black, just tape them off and use PD to black out the machined face. Do one aide of the car and if you don't like it, peel it off.

 

That's a great idea to see what it actually looks like in painted! Thanks!

 

I added some pics to XIX thread.
